A-Leagues adventures in Asia (ACL & AFC Cup thread)

Piss poor defending at the back post.

Kosta draws a penalty (starts outside the box maybe?) and Berisha converts it, 2-1

Was more thinking of Georgievski who really clocked off and let their guy in.

Quite a lot of manhandling of the ref after that penalty call. Also, only Kevin Muscat could be screaming at the 4th official just after his team has won a penalty!

Berisha blows a golden chance to extend the lead

Victory pick up a big 3 points to kick start their ACL campaign

Good game that. MV the win, no thanks to Connor Pain who made an embarrassing balls up of that late chance.

Oh Sydney is already down 1-0, stupid stream with no commentary or graphics

Goal courtesy of an Anderson blunder. The sort that he made a bit of a habit of at CCM, which is why the occasional mention of him as a possible Nix signing used to make me shudder. 

Luckily our defenders never make mistakes....

Smeltzy is wearing gloves!!

Naumoff clears off the line, great positioning from him

2-0, maybe Arnie needed more than 5 at the back

Ends 2-0

Sydney play tonight at 10pm, Victory at 11pm  (both being shown on TAB Watch & Bet)

I suspect both will lose

Guangzhou Evergrande FC have given away 8k tickets to the game vs Sydney. Smeltzy captain again

Stambolziev opens the scoring for Sydney, 1-0

A lofted ball finds @ShaneSmeltz in the box and he heads it down for @r_stambolziev to volley in! 1-0 #SydneyIsSkyBlue #SYDvGUA

And Ryall pulls down an attacker in the box, penalty.

Saved!

1-1

Surely a case for a straight red there for Ryall? Still remember his blatant, unapologetic dive against MV to win a penalty for Sydney.

Pretty good half of football that, 1-1 at the break.

OG puts MV 1-0 up in the 3rd minute!

Victory open the scoring in Japan in the opening few minutes, 0-1

What the hell was O'Neill thinking? 4 on 2 and goes for the long range speculator. Arnie spitting chips.

Dimitrijevic!! 2-1 for Sydney.

Victory go into half time 0-1 up in Japan.

Sydney win 2-1

"David has just defeated Goliath". Kinda overselling it there, Simon. 

Good win for Sydney though and just about deserved.

how many planes is that?

Gamba equalise vs the Victory, 1-1
